Oh no it's missing - battery cover plate

I have seen them while perusing Ferrari Suppliers....

Try Ricambi...Dan is his name, Pleasure to deal with. Good Luck.

 

You could also check T. Rutlands, maybe they have a used one.

Also in the sponsor link check Maranello Concessionaires/Ferrari UK.

 

its not uncommon for these to be gone,some are making them out of alum. than fiberglass

 

Where did you lose it?

 

same place as mine

 

It's amazing how many 308's have lost battery covers over the years...my brother recently bought a 308, it did had a battery cover....made out of diamond plate! Superleggera it was not, blingy it was. He found a used cover for $160 (private party)....

PM me if you want a diamond plate battery cover, shipping will be expensive!

 

Battery cover?

My 308 didn't have one when I bought it; in fact, I didn't know it was supposed to!

Aside from originality, is there any particular reason I need one?

 

Battery explosion would be contained better, if the top blew off your hood paint would be damaged among other things. Also keeps items from falling through to nowhere land. Looks better, looks complete and most importantly its missing.

 

Try the former owner or the shop that worked on it before. It's probably in a back room with all the others they forgot to put back.

One of my customers told me that the shop he used to take his car has bins for each customer where they keep leftover parts. LMAO!

 

superperformance in the Uk sells them for about 80 pound(i think so)

 

Sounds good enough...I was going to make a few from the one I have, but the thumbwheels and c clip retainers are the hard part...

They are available though.....

 

Ocassionally you can find them on e-bay - search under "Ferrari 308". Good luck!

 

I cut my replacement from a piece of formica, the kind used for kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
The only caveat is in cutting, you really need a formica knife and grinder for the broad round
edge to avoid it chipping. It is an ideal material being strong and non-conductive. Above the
battery it's too easy for a piece of alluminum to drop onto the terminals when you remove it.

 

Paul,

I suppose that's why manhole-covers are round.

80 Pounds for that small aluminium cover? Wow! How many people need one?

That price seems as exhorbitant as the sums asked for the washer bottle bracket.

 

Brian Keegan @ Ferrparts has them is stock including the 2 knurled fixing nuts.

 

+1 I got one of them

 

I have 2 original covers. Plz PM me if interested. Thx...Jim

 

+2.

They are on eBay as well fairly often.

 

Mine was also missing, but Daniel sent me a new one for a very reasonable price. I didn't use the correct hold downs, but I will get those from Rock's in Toronto.

Pretty sure Keegan has those as well, worth a phone call.

 

Jim400i's OEM ones at $120 "less the thumbwheels" sounds good pricewise.

 

I have 2 now. One with nuts and one without.

 

Also there some kind of foam gasket on the other side of the plate...
